17th June - World Tower

Our last day!

So our last day! What a day to remember....

We were up fairly early and finished off our packing, and got our rucksacks weighed to make sure we were still within our limits. 

We seemed to be ok so we pressed on with what had to be arranged! First on the list was Vonnie (Debs mummy) we had a short trip down the road and said our goodbyes. What a lovely woman Vonnie is, she was our Australian Grandma. An even got us leaving presents and a card which was so kind of her!

Next up on the list was to collect Ian from Cambletown on the way to Sydney. It was now revealed to us that Deb and Ian had arranged a hotel for our last night in Sydney. Yet again our Australian parents going silly and over the top and doing things we never even contemplated doing in Australia! But we come back to that in a minute.

We had a drive down to Bondi Beach for a walk along the coastline. Ian still feeling rather sore from Wakefield park gave it a miss and had a snooze in the car. We returned and headed to our hotel. After a bit of a faff actually finding the car park we were in. We went to in to huge reception which was terribly acoustically designed. Eventually we were given the cards to get in. We got into the lift and made our way to the 74th floor. Yes Deb and Ian had booked us a room in the penthouse apartment on the 74th floor! It was huge. And I mean huge! It had 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms a kitchen and a massive living room with dining area. This was all very nice but drawing back the curtains we had the most spectacular view of central Sydney. We actually looked down on the CBD and were at the same level as the Westfield Tower! It's the highest accomadation in Sydney and it was breathtaking! 

We spent the evening relaxing, having dinner and drinking champagne of course! We had such a great time and couldn't thank deb and Ian enough when they took us to the airport the next morning at 4am! But that is another story...
